Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.

:00:16.:00:19.

Tonight, a rhyming couplet of guests whose names are a dream for

:00:19.:00:23.

Scrabble. Direct from his comedy tour via Tomb Raider and Gladiator,

:00:23.:00:32.

it's Omid Djalili, single score 22 points. Welcome, Omid. And joining

:00:32.:00:35.

us later, the woman bringing peace to warring family businesses, it's

:00:35.:00:45.
:00:45.:00:46.

Alex Polizzi. Two Zs, you'll need a blank, minimum 28 points. Imagine

:00:46.:00:53.

that on a trouble score! Unbelievable! Of course, Omid, you

:00:53.:00:57.

must us in Meryl Streep's moment with Pichot, Colin Firth coming to

:00:57.:01:01.

her rescue. I have a quote from Colin Firth, on your stand-up, you

:01:01.:01:05.

provoke the kind of laughter that gives you digestive problems. I'm

:01:05.:01:11.

guessing that is a compliment. not... And not wholly sure about

:01:11.:01:16.

that because... After he won the Oscar, I got a very weird e-mail

:01:16.:01:19.

from Colin Firth. I have done a couple of charity events within,

:01:19.:01:24.

and I must have got into his psyche, because he sent me and e-mail are

:01:24.:01:27.

saying, I had a terrible dream that he performed an exotic dance for me,

:01:28.:01:34.

I thought you should know. I wrote back, it is funny, I had the same

:01:34.:01:38.

dream, and your cheque bounced! He wrote back and said, that is

:01:38.:01:44.

because the exotic dance was wholly unsatisfactory! I think that is the

:01:44.:01:49.

digestive problem, something to do with nausea, not laughter. Speaking

:01:49.:01:54.

of dancing, we will be finding out what Omid is at a later... I would

:01:54.:02:00.

get a bigger laugh! It may or may not involve a pink tutu. If the

:02:00.:02:03.

Duchess of Cambridge fancies a night out while her husband is in

:02:03.:02:07.

the Falklands, she could do worse than heading for Liverpool. It is

:02:07.:02:11.

home to a bar run by a charity that is close to her heart.

:02:11.:02:14.

The Liverpool is a city that likes to party, and like everywhere else

:02:14.:02:19.

in Britain, blues is the backbone of a night out. As a nation, it is

:02:19.:02:24.

fair to say that we enjoy a drink. And the students are no exception.

:02:24.:02:29.

They are not big binge drinkers, but on Wednesday, which is party

:02:29.:02:35.

night for students, having a snifter is all part of the ritual.

:02:35.:02:39.

Well, tonight, and taking the entire netball team out, and not

:02:39.:02:44.

just out, but Out Out! And it will not be their typical evening

:02:44.:02:51.

experience. Not being much of a midweek drinker myself these days,

:02:51.:02:59.

I thought we would go of the East. What kind of drinks to do? We have

:02:59.:03:03.

got a Bollywood is sour, it depends what you like in a cocktail. A

:03:03.:03:08.

Sounds like a normal cocktail menu, but these are all have car free,

:03:09.:03:13.

and that is my surprise. I have taken them to a dry bar.

:03:13.:03:20.

is a dry bar? Non-alcoholic? He is definitely warmer than outside.

:03:20.:03:26.

is nice. I quite like the atmosphere. Leaving the girls to

:03:26.:03:34.

their cocktails, I find out more about the thinking behind the Brink,

:03:34.:03:36.

Liverpool's first modern dry bar looks like any other, opening late

:03:36.:03:41.

into the night, but in a scene where booms rules, surely it is a

:03:41.:03:44.

hard sell. The first thing you expect is that it serves alcohol,

:03:44.:03:49.

and if you take that away, for most people it takes away the reason for

:03:49.:03:54.

coming. We want to dispel the myth that Tabar has got to serve alcohol.

:03:54.:03:58.

You can enjoy yourself without drinking alcohol. There are many

:03:58.:04:04.

are places to do it, but not here. The bar is the brainchild of

:04:04.:04:08.

charity Action on addiction, which is close to the heart of Damien

:04:08.:04:13.

Kelly. Liverpool has got a huge recovery seen, and they have

:04:13.:04:18.

nowhere to call home. That is one of the reasons why Brink came about.

:04:18.:04:21.

Surely it cannot survive if you're only customers who are going

:04:21.:04:26.

through recovery. If you do not ring for control, medicinal reasons,

:04:26.:04:33.

and if you do, it is about a more sensible approach. But in a city

:04:33.:04:37.

which tops the tables for alcohol related hospital admissions, in a

:04:37.:04:41.

country with a taste of the hard stuff, what is the Brink up

:04:41.:04:45.

against? The problem with nightlife is that it has become the same as

:04:45.:04:52.

going out to get drunk. They are environments designed to get people

:04:52.:04:56.

to an. Professor Marc Bell studies our drinking habits for a living.

:04:56.:05:00.

We identified that about half of people will not go into the towns

:05:00.:05:03.

and cities at night because they think they are people where --

:05:03.:05:07.

places where people just go to get drunk. We need alternatives, places

:05:07.:05:11.

like dry bars, other things to do other than drink as heavily as they

:05:12.:05:16.

possibly can. The professor might believe that dry bars of a future,

:05:16.:05:19.

but with the party hearty crowd swallow his way of thinking and

:05:19.:05:25.

even set foot in a bar without booze? To be honest, most people

:05:25.:05:29.

have fun when they are drinking. To be honest, I wouldn't consider

:05:30.:05:34.

myself having fun there. If I was low and cash, yeah, I would. Or if

:05:35.:05:39.

I was driving. I would consider it, yes, I would like to see what it is

:05:39.:05:44.

like, see the difference. And what about our students? Their memory of

:05:44.:05:49.

the night may be much clearer than usual, but was it as much fun? Time

:05:49.:05:54.

for the post-match debrief. We have a table full of fruity drinks, you

:05:54.:05:58.

have certainly had your five a day, but have you had a good evening

:05:58.:06:04.

without alcohol? Have you survived? With a big group of people, it is a

:06:04.:06:11.

nice environment. Anybody honestly at any point this evening thought

:06:11.:06:16.

to themselves, I could do with a drink? Not that I want one, but if

:06:16.:06:20.

it was on offer, I probably would have had wine. It is more force of

:06:20.:06:24.

habit, it is what you are used to doing. It is strange that it is not

:06:24.:06:29.

on offer. The acid test, are you going to go immediately from here

:06:29.:06:39.
:06:39.:06:41.

down the pub? No! It is bedtime for Interesting, thanks ever so much,

:06:41.:06:46.

Matt EU. The girls said that the atmosphere was very different. From

:06:46.:06:50.

a stand-up point of view, do you prefer to play to a crowd that is

:06:50.:06:54.

completely sober or slightly lubricated? That is a specifically

:06:54.:06:57.

British question, because I have performed around the world, and

:06:57.:07:02.

people do not have to be so drunk that they go out and try to buy a

:07:02.:07:05.

bus ticket from a chocolate vending machine last projectile vomiting

:07:05.:07:10.

from their left nostril. Is it easier with that kind of crowd?

:07:10.:07:14.

people think audiences have to be drunk, but actually the comedy

:07:14.:07:20.

clubs are interesting, because in London people do like to be well

:07:20.:07:26.

oiled with drink. Sometimes, N Cs tried to throw you off the scent. I

:07:26.:07:32.

have seen places where the MC says, ladies and gentlemen, do you like

:07:32.:07:39.

poets? No! You like Americans? No! Ladies and gentlemen, an American

:07:39.:07:44.

poet! They will try to ruin the night, but that is why I prefer the

:07:44.:07:48.

theatres where people have paid money to see you. They are more

:07:48.:07:52.

predisposed towards laughing at what you do. Liverpool was one of

:07:52.:07:57.

the cities you visited during your MAM at 10 month tour of duty, which

:07:57.:08:01.

is nearing its end. What were the highlights? No highlights, I'm

:08:01.:08:07.

afraid. I will tell you why, I thought I would get a big tour

:08:07.:08:11.

passed to watch DVDs, a lovely bar. I do not drink, that is another

:08:11.:08:15.

thing that people do not understand. People say, do you want a pint? I

:08:15.:08:22.

do not drink, do you just want a half? People do not get it! What

:08:22.:08:26.

happened was within the first day, we were going through Wales, I got

:08:26.:08:31.

very sick, so I said, can I give the bus back? They said, no, we

:08:31.:08:37.

want to keep it. I have to follow everyone on the bus. I can see them

:08:37.:08:43.

watching films, knocking back shots, and I am back there, going, I am

:08:43.:08:47.

paying for that! They just close the curtain. At the service station,

:08:47.:08:52.

are you coming for lunch? We are watching back to the future! They

:08:52.:08:55.

do not care. It is a real waste of time and money. I'm having a

:08:55.:09:01.

terrible time, thanks for asking! It is coming to an end. No, it has

:09:01.:09:05.

been good, wonderful. It is coming to the Hammersmith Apollo at the

:09:05.:09:08.

end of the month, I have been going to towns I have never heard of.

:09:08.:09:15.

Have you heard of Bridlington? course! Scarborough? I have never

:09:15.:09:20.

been there. We have been talking about dancing tonight, you're not

:09:20.:09:23.

ditching the dancing, because you are taking part in Let's Dance. How

:09:23.:09:28.

are you feeling about that? feeling that it could be good, I

:09:28.:09:33.

have probably bitten off more than I can chew. On my tour, I was not

:09:33.:09:37.

dancing at the beginning, but I got an embossed card, it was a threat,

:09:37.:09:42.

done in the style of an invitation, dance or die. A posh threat?

:09:42.:09:46.

are letting your people down. It was signed by William Hague, which

:09:46.:09:53.

is quite bizarre. But I thought I would do Let's Dance for Comic

:09:53.:09:57.

Relief because we have got a concept which could be great. I

:09:57.:10:06.

mean... Look at that! This is warming up. Is it sporty? This is a

:10:06.:10:12.

warm-up of us trying to get... Look at that! The moves are pretty

:10:12.:10:16.

specific, quite ambitious. That is not the piece, that is just warming

:10:16.:10:22.

up, trying to get us warmed up. ambitious is it? They say it is one

:10:22.:10:25.

of the most ambitious things anyone has ever tried, so it could be

:10:25.:10:31.

greater or... Serious? It could be great, but I am a risk-taker.

:10:31.:10:35.

all for a good cause. Now then, either way, your mum and dad used

:10:35.:10:39.

to run a business, is that right? Yes. The next film is about family

:10:39.:10:43.

businesses. Would you go into business with your brothers and

:10:43.:10:52.

sisters? No. Well, many people do. In fact, up over 3 million therms

:10:52.:10:57.

from corner shops to large companies are run by families. In a

:10:57.:11:01.

moment, Alex Polizzi tells us why she has become the fixer, rescuing

:11:01.:11:05.

business plans in crisis. But first, how working with your nearest and

:11:05.:11:09.

dearest can stretch relations to the limit. You sit down and have a

:11:09.:11:14.

nice time, I go home on Friday with no soul! I have to cover everybody

:11:14.:11:21.

in the shop. Oh, yeah, everybody else as a day off, I have not had

:11:21.:11:26.

one since January! OK. Take a chill pill or you will have a stroke.

:11:26.:11:31.

least I will get a rest in bed! who would be prepared to go into

:11:31.:11:35.

business with a close relative? Money and family does not always

:11:35.:11:41.

mix. There is no way I would go into a family business. Yeah, I

:11:41.:11:45.

think it would create quite a few arguments, put it that way. I say

:11:45.:11:49.

what has to be done, he does it if he feels like it. Running a family

:11:50.:11:53.

business myself, I am aware of the pitfalls, but I know it can be

:11:53.:11:58.

hugely rewarding. How do you make sure your family enterprise does

:11:58.:12:02.

not become one long-running domestic? With family businesses

:12:02.:12:05.

employing more than 9 million people in the UK, I have come to

:12:05.:12:09.

get some expert advice on what to look out for when working with your

:12:09.:12:14.

nearest and dearest. Stress is a high pressure forced from running a

:12:14.:12:18.

business when it is inserted into a family, and you can see how people

:12:18.:12:23.

who take the greatest strain show that strain. She is a little bit

:12:23.:12:30.

stressed! Just a little bit. just... Stressed his like... I feel

:12:30.:12:35.

a bit stressed out, I am more than stressed out, I really feel beyond

:12:35.:12:39.

stressed-out. One of the prime functions of families is to buffer

:12:39.:12:42.

the stresses that people have. You come home from work and you have

:12:42.:12:46.

got your family to help you feel better again. So you have recovery

:12:46.:12:50.

space. With families in businesses, maybe you have put your business

:12:50.:12:55.

into your recovery space, and you have got nowhere to go for TLC.

:12:55.:12:58.

What you do not want is the family to destroy the business and the

:12:58.:13:02.

business to destroy the family. doesn't work, and there needs to be

:13:02.:13:08.

one person in charge. Who that person is, I don't know. �50,000

:13:08.:13:12.

now, I will walk away, you will never see me again, OK? That is

:13:12.:13:18.

what you have said. We can do it without you! We are not saying that

:13:18.:13:26.

at all! This conversation has gone too far, anyway. I am not going to

:13:26.:13:33.

go on with this any more. It is... There we go! So what is the great

:13:34.:13:38.

thing about having a family business? I think the magic is

:13:38.:13:42.

really the pleasure of shared ownership, something that you

:13:42.:13:52.
:13:52.:13:59.

A family business is definitely a labour of love. But if you are to

:13:59.:14:02.

make a success of it, you have to learn how to leave any family

:14:02.:14:12.

As we said, in the series you rescue family firms and give them

:14:12.:14:16.

some advice. You've got plenty of experience in this field. Your

:14:16.:14:23.

grandfather was Lord Forte, from the Forte hotel chain. What would

:14:23.:14:29.

be your tips? About how to be successful? Make sure you define

:14:29.:14:33.

your areas of responsibility clearly, so you don't tread on each

:14:33.:14:37.

other's toes too much. That creates a lot of attention otherwise. Make

:14:37.:14:40.

sure that you keep your professional life professional, so

:14:40.:14:45.

any family arguments should be left at the office door. Try and avoid

:14:45.:14:50.

too much into a family banter. Especially for embryo -- employees

:14:50.:14:56.

who aren't part of the family, otherwise they could feel excluded.

:14:56.:14:59.

The key to a business is the fact you do take your work home and you

:14:59.:15:04.

are constantly, the passion you have together is so important. Are

:15:04.:15:09.

there any tips for leaving it at the door? I do think you take your

:15:09.:15:12.

work come, but that's a different problem. It's when you bring your

:15:12.:15:16.

home stresses into work that the business really suffers. I've

:15:16.:15:21.

worked with my mum, I've worked with my uncle, I've worked with my

:15:21.:15:26.

sister, my husband. Your husband, baking. Does he bring his work home

:15:26.:15:31.

with him? Every single night. But I understand that. It's a business

:15:31.:15:35.

that the share, we built it up together. I was a baker for him for

:15:35.:15:41.

a year. I do get the stresses and strains he is under. He needs to

:15:41.:15:45.

detox from his day by talking to me. Do you ever get to that point when

:15:45.:15:48.

you've worked so much with your family that when you get together

:15:48.:15:52.

you've got nothing to talk about? Yes, I'm on holiday sometimes with

:15:52.:15:57.

my mum and she's talking to me about work. I ain't, like, please,

:15:57.:16:02.

can't we just lie here by the pool and read a book? Hey you are giving

:16:02.:16:07.

the Kettley's some advice on tomorrow's show. You've got an

:16:07.:16:11.

awful lot of Rangers here, an awful lot of stock. It all mergers in,

:16:11.:16:18.

it's a bit beige and boring. I would struggle to find one thing I

:16:18.:16:21.

wanted to buy in here. I'm just saying that as a matter of fact.

:16:21.:16:28.

Downstairs, it's like an old people's home. You are quite harsh.

:16:28.:16:35.

But you've got to be honest. I have not -- you have not seen what it

:16:35.:16:40.

was like downstairs, it looked like an old people's home. It was awful.

:16:40.:16:47.

They seem to take it on board. quite firm but am very fair. The

:16:47.:16:52.

amazing thing is when I'm going to all of these families, usually they

:16:52.:16:55.

know the advice that I'm giving them. It down, they already

:16:55.:16:59.

acknowledge it but they've been unable to act upon it. I do a lot

:16:59.:17:04.

of kicking but I don't have to push too hard. It sounds like it's all

:17:04.:17:08.

common sense. Yeah S. I'm not an expert on a furniture store. What I

:17:08.:17:13.

am good at his business. The lessons I've learned in my business,

:17:13.:17:17.

I transferred them into other businesses. I met a young comic he

:17:17.:17:22.

was a staunch atheist. I said, is a theism like a religion to you? He

:17:23.:17:27.

said, yes, it's the religion of common sense. I said, what do you

:17:27.:17:32.

base that religion on? He said, but Ten Commandments. I thought that

:17:32.:17:38.

would get a bigger laughs. Fixer continues tomorrow night on

:17:38.:17:43.

BBC Two at 8pm. Bill Oddie has enjoyed a hugely successful career,

:17:43.:17:46.

first as a comedian and actor and later as a wildlife presenter.

:17:46.:17:50.

when he was young he needed a century of his own and founded in a

:17:50.:18:00.
:18:00.:18:01.

surprising place. We are in Birmingham at King Edward's School.

:18:01.:18:11.
:18:11.:18:22.

I came here between 54 and 60. It's We are in another era. The

:18:22.:18:27.

overwhelming feeling is one of affection. I had a pretty fabulous

:18:27.:18:33.

time here. I thought it was terrific. In my day they did and

:18:33.:18:40.

torture the little boys like that. -- they did and torture. I'd been

:18:40.:18:44.

put into a classics form but I was terrible at it. First report out of

:18:44.:18:51.

a class of 27, I achieved in Latin the position of 27th. It says, this

:18:51.:18:55.

is a weak subject but he struggles along cheerfully and has made some

:18:55.:19:03.

progress. My home life was a little bit odd. I was brought up by my dad

:19:03.:19:08.

and his mother, my granny. My mum was unfortunately committed to a

:19:09.:19:12.

mental hospital. She was diagnosed as being schizophrenic, and that

:19:12.:19:17.

was where she was right the way throughout my childhood and teenage

:19:17.:19:21.

years. I didn't really know her. A lot of my friends didn't really

:19:21.:19:26.

know because I hardly ever took anybody back to the house. I never

:19:27.:19:33.

thought of myself as deprived of a mother or anything. Looking back,

:19:33.:19:37.

home wasn't very interesting. I tended to spend my time doing

:19:37.:19:42.

something else, going out to the local reservoir with my binoculars

:19:42.:19:45.

and bird watching. That was one of the things. The other thing was

:19:45.:19:54.

making the school day a lot longer than it was. The school was... What

:19:54.:20:02.

ever the building work is... It was instead of my home. I lived here.

:20:02.:20:09.

Sport was a revelation when I came here. The playing fields were

:20:09.:20:14.

cricket pitches, I played a lot of tennis... The other one, rugby. It

:20:14.:20:20.

was quite a successful rugby school. A memorial from that time, these

:20:20.:20:26.

are my rugby colours. It doesn't quite fit, never did. I believe

:20:26.:20:32.

that somewhere around is one of my team mates from long ago. Is there

:20:32.:20:42.

anybody on who you recognise? ought to -- or two. To me, the

:20:42.:20:46.

rugby was one of the be-all and end-alls of being at school. Was it

:20:46.:20:52.

important to you? Yes, and sport in general. My great shame was that I

:20:52.:20:56.

was captain of the team that lost the Cup, after many years of

:20:56.:21:02.

victory. Apparently, I was talking to some people at school now, they

:21:02.:21:09.

haven't won for years. We started the demise. Maybe! This was the

:21:09.:21:16.

scene of my first performances. This was about 56 or 57. It was a

review with comedy and songs. I've got a credit here. Playing

harmonica. A couple of years later, so just before I went, 20th July

:21:30.:21:37.

and 21st 1959, we have this, it was written by myself. We got terribly

:21:37.:21:42.

good reviews. On two successive nights, the large audiences

:21:43.:21:48.

applauded. The standard was very high. One of the things that

:21:48.:21:53.

strikes me is how many of the things I've gone on to do through

:21:53.:21:56.

the whole of my life have gone on at this school. People talk of me

:21:56.:21:59.

as part of the Cambridge MA banned the book Lights, but it was here

:21:59.:22:07.

that I got into those things. -- and the Footlights.

:22:07.:22:15.

On School, is this fact or pure stand-up? You've sat 49 papers of

:22:15.:22:22.

A-levels. That is true. It's all for, I know. I did four A-levels,

:22:22.:22:29.

13 times. You are laughing at that, aren't you?! Have you got your

:22:29.:22:34.

qualifications? I never got them. I was tremendously deluded. I'd do an

:22:34.:22:39.

exam and wait for the results. I messed up one bit of that paper, it

:22:39.:22:46.

could be a B. It would be an effort. I did them three years in a row. It

:22:46.:22:56.

was a total of 49 papers. I didn't really get any. You'd never toll --

:22:56.:23:03.

tell from the filmography and films you've been in. You tried for 16

:23:03.:23:11.

drama schools as well. You know this as well! Yes, 16. Eight drama

:23:11.:23:17.

schools, twice. The Welsh School of Drama, they were very kind because

:23:18.:23:23.

the second time I said, what am I doing wrong? They said, we think

:23:23.:23:27.

you are very arrogant and you may have the fat gene. You are FE now

:23:27.:23:32.

and you've got hair but we see it all going wrong. It's true. They

:23:32.:23:36.

said to me, we think that you have enough confidence to try something

:23:36.:23:42.

out yourself. Drama school, we like to mould people, just go out and do

:23:42.:23:47.

it. We won't embarrass you any more now. Despite hundreds of alleged

:23:47.:23:50.

sightings so far, there is no conclusive evidence that big cats

:23:51.:23:55.

are running the British countryside. However, on on the Ardnamurchan

:23:55.:23:59.

Peninsula in Lochaber, a rare species of cat does live in the

:23:59.:24:04.

wild. As Mike Dilger discovered, it's nearly as elusive... Judging

:24:04.:24:09.

from that match, I'm not surprised! This area in Scotland is a

:24:09.:24:15.

stronghold for a rare and shy cat. Wildcats have to be one of the most

:24:15.:24:21.

elusive mammals in Britain, with only about 400 remaining in the

:24:21.:24:24.

world. They have to be one of the rarest as well. It is an animal

:24:24.:24:30.

that I have never seen before. Add to that they do everything they can

:24:30.:24:35.

to avoid being detected. Wild cats have rarely been filmed. This would

:24:35.:24:40.

it was taken in 2008. But their elusiveness hasn't deterred

:24:40.:24:43.

scientists from doing everything they can to protect the last

:24:43.:24:50.

remaining wild cats. Appear in west Scotland, there's a very special

:24:50.:24:56.

wild cat project taking place. I'm keen to get involved. Adrian Davies,

:24:56.:24:59.

from the Scottish wildcat Association, is dedicated to

:24:59.:25:03.

preserving our only native feline. And having spent his life trying to

:25:03.:25:09.

track them down, he's all too aware of how rare they are. I've only

:25:09.:25:16.

seen five in the wild. I've seen a few in zoos but five in the wild

:25:16.:25:20.

over 40 Ord years is not many. Especially in this landscape. It's

:25:20.:25:24.

like a needle in a haystack. How different are they to the common

:25:24.:25:28.

garden cat that people would know? They are quite similar in some ways.

:25:28.:25:33.

They have the stripy markings that a tabby cat has, but they have a

:25:33.:25:38.

very distinctive tail which is very stripy and has a dark black tip, as

:25:38.:25:42.

well as being very Borshi. That is what gives it its character. They

:25:42.:25:48.

are also fears. Incredibly fierce. Hence the name the Scottish tiger.

:25:48.:25:52.

Wildcats are usually larger than the average Tabley and play an

:25:52.:25:56.

important role in controlling the populations of rabbits and rodents.

:25:56.:25:59.

That being so rare, little is known about them. So Adrian is trying to

:25:59.:26:04.

catch them to find out more. Hopefully it will tell us a lot

:26:04.:26:08.

more about wild cats in this area, and also build up some information

:26:08.:26:12.

about how many we have. Then it will extrapolate and we will

:26:12.:26:17.

hopefully estimate the population in Scotland. Adrian is concerned

:26:17.:26:21.

they may be even fewer than 400 wildcats left. And it is because of

:26:21.:26:26.

a threat from feral cats. Once pets, many feral populations have lived

:26:26.:26:32.

in the wild for several generations. And they are causing problems.

:26:32.:26:36.

wild cats can potentially breed with feral cats as well. That is

:26:37.:26:42.

unfortunate because it dilutes the pure wild cat population. It can

:26:42.:26:46.

become a different type of cat. They can potentially pass disease

:26:46.:26:50.

into the wild population. If we don't do something now then we may

:26:50.:26:55.

actually lose the wild cat. To try and stop them interbreeding, Adrian

:26:55.:27:00.

is trying to lure in the feral cats with bait and catch them. But

:27:00.:27:06.

having lived wild for so long, these cats are canny. It is

:27:07.:27:09.

noticeable they are going all around the cage but not in them.

:27:09.:27:16.

You have caught quite a few here. We've already caught probably 15 or

:27:16.:27:20.

16 cats here. What do you do with the cats once you've cracked them?

:27:20.:27:26.

We take them to the Vets. They are Spader and neutered and released.

:27:26.:27:31.

So they can't hybridise with genuine Scottish wildcats. Yes. And

:27:31.:27:34.

they have a small clip taken on their ear so we can instantly

:27:35.:27:40.

recognise them if they are recaptured. It is interesting to

:27:40.:27:45.

see cats that are almost but not quite wild. It makes me want to see

:27:45.:27:50.

a wild cat even more. Although the closest I managed to get to where

:27:50.:27:56.

wild cat would these troublesome barrels, with Adrian's help the

:27:56.:27:58.

wildcat population will hopefully increase and my chances of seeing

:27:59.:28:08.

On Friday night we asked you to send in your jokes. You send in

:28:08.:28:17.

hundreds. We will read some now. Olmert, will you pick us off?

I was a kid people used to cover me with cream and put cherries on my
